From time to time there have been
indications of a possible battle for the
waters of the Klickitat and the White
Salmon rivers by rival corporations,
one the company havkig the Horse
Heaven Irrigation project in hand, the
other the Northwestern Electric. Dur
ing the campaign Goldendaie papers
tried to show that White Salmon was
endeavoring to aid the Northwestern in
acquiring rights which would Interfere
with the plans of the Horse Heaven
company to the extent it would not be
able to get the water necessary for Kb
project. The Horse Heaven Co. has
iiled suits ngainBt the Northwestern
for prior or superior rights on the
Klickitat and the White Salmon rivers.
Both suits have been delayed by the
plaintiff, which, presumably, has been
unable to get satisfactory assurances
from the government that it will be
granted privileges in the forest reserve
and certain vacant government lands.
